Chapter 293: Chapter 293 Qiao Zhenbin is Dead

Qiao Xi felt the irony was palpable.

Qiao Xi didn’t pay any attention to Qiao Zhenbin. Instead, she had only just gotten home when she received a call from the security booth.

Qiao Zhenbin had been waiting outside the community for hours, and the security guard, remembering the trouble Qiao Zhenbin had caused last time, naturally didn’t dare let him in.

But Qiao Zhenbin stubbornly threatened to file a complaint in the name of Qiao Xi’s father, so the guard had no choice but to call Qiao Xi.

In the morning, when no one answered at Qiao Xi’s home, the guard mentioned there was nobody in, and Qiao Zhenbin just kept waiting in his car.

Just now, he saw a nanny car enter and thought it might be Qiao Xi, so he ordered the security guard to keep calling her.

The call connected.

The security guard glanced at Qiao Zhenbin and said, "Miss Qiao, a man claiming to be your father—"

Qiao Xi cut him off, "In the future, if there’s anyone claiming to be my father or family member, you don’t need to bother with them, and don’t call me about this kind of matter again. I also don’t want last time’s incident to happen again."

Qiao Xi’s voice was laced with frost.

Remembering the incident from last time, the guard was still frightened: "Understood."

Qiao Xi, unmoved, "If he threatens you or files a complaint, don’t be afraid; just follow the rules here as they are."

"Got it, Miss Qiao."

The security guard addressed Qiao Zhenbin directly, "Miss Qiao says she has no family, so even if you want to file a complaint against me, I still can’t let you in. However, if you continue to hassle me here, I’ll have to call the police to deal with the situation!"

Qiao Zhenbin’s expression was incredibly dark: "I am her damn father! Keep calling her, or I’ll file a complaint against you!"

The security guard had already seen the news of Qiao Xi’s severed relationship and couldn’t help but mock, "Miss Qiao has publicly cut off the father-daughter relationship. It’s following the rules here not to let Mr. Qiao in; go ahead and file a complaint if you want."

After dropping those words, the security guard picked up his phone to scroll through it, completely ignoring Qiao Zhenbin.

What’s the use of venting your anger on him?

He’s just a security guard.

If you’re capable, contact Miss Qiao yourself.

Qiao Zhenbin was so furious his teeth itched. He wanted to ram his car through the entrance of the community, but not wanting to lose face, he had to leave for now.

Seeing this, the security guard called Qiao Xi again, informing her that Qiao Zhenbin had left.

Qiao Xi was even more determined to sell the house.

As for Qiao Nan, Qiao Nan indeed hated Qiao Zhenbin.

How could she not hate her biological father for sending her to an old man’s bed?

Now that she had Chu Xiuyun, Qiao Nan didn’t want to see Qiao Zhenbin again.

Qiao Nan still lived in the original villa, and Chu Xiuyun had yet to visit her once.

But Qiao Nan was already Chu Xiuyun’s woman.

The night Chu Xiuyun saved Qiao Nan, they had consummated their relationship.

So staying here, Qiao Nan was willing.

She had arranged to go shopping with people who were trying to ingratiate themselves with her when a call from Young Master Chu came in.

"Young Master Chu," Qiao Nan was somewhat delighted.

In contrast to Qiao Nan’s excitement, Chu Xiuyun appeared very cold, "Your father went to see Qiao Xi this morning."

"Why are you telling me this? Besides, he isn’t my father anymore. I don’t want to acknowledge this father."

Qiao Nan was utterly disenchanted with Qiao Zhenbin.

"Do you want revenge?"

Chu Xiuyun’s voice was enticing.

Qiao Nan didn’t quite understand, "What do you mean?"

Chu Xiuyun’s voice carried a mocking tone, "Doesn’t it bother you, the way Qiao Zhenbin treated you?"

Without hesitation, Qiao Nan said, "Of course it bothers me!"

If it weren’t for Chu Xiuyun, she didn’t know what kind of miserable life she’d be living.

Chu Xiuyun was pleased with her attitude, then tempted her further, "How about leaving your dad with nothing?"

Although Qiao Nan hated Qiao Zhenbin, she had never thought about leaving him with nothing.

She couldn’t do that.

So her only thought was to never see Qiao Zhenbin again; she hadn’t considered anything else.

Chu Xiuyun was inscrutable, but in that moment, Qiao Nan could see his ruthlessness.

Such a man exuded an overwhelming danger.

Qiao Nan bit her lip, "What do you plan to do?"

Detecting Qiao Nan’s hesitation, Chu Xiuyun laughed darkly, "He did that to you, and you still care for him?"

"I don’t," Qiao Nan paused, then asked, "But why do you want to do this?"

"For fun."

Those three light words.

Qiao Nan thought Chu Xiuyun was truly mad.

"Do you want my help?" Chu Xiuyun asked leisurely.

Afraid of upsetting him with her refusal, Qiao Nan blurted out carelessly, "Whatever you want to do is fine."

"Good."

With a word devoid of emotion, Qiao Nan felt as though it was sweet nothings.

He said ’good.’

Seizing the opportunity, Qiao Nan pressed, "Then when will you come to see me? Young Master Chu, can you come see me?"

She was filled with anticipation.

Chu Xiuyun chuckled, his laughter deep and inscrutable, "Qiao Nan, I’ve told you before, we have no relationship. If you want to stay there, stay; if not, leave. I have many houses under my name and I don’t care about that one."

His words starkly delineated their relationship.

Even though they had slept together.

Chu Xiuyun didn’t hold Qiao Nan in regard.

Qiao Nan felt like she had been doused with cold water, "But, but we..."

His voice was neither harsh nor soft, "You want to say we’ve slept together?"

Qiao Nan was taken aback, "Isn’t that so?"

"So what if we have? I saved you, you just need to be grateful. Nobody else could give you a life like this. Qiao Nan, you should be content and not covet things that aren’t meant for you."

His speech humiliated her over and over.

But Qiao Nan, realizing she really didn’t have anywhere else to go, instantly turned sweet again.

Now, she had only Chu Xiuyun.

"Beep beep beep—"

Before Qiao Nan could respond, Chu Xiuyun coldly hung up.

Furious, Qiao Nan threw her phone to the ground.

Qiao Nan was acutely aware of Chu Xiuyun’s fondness for Qiao Xi.

These recent events had led her to believe that Chu Xiuyun had developed feelings for her, but it was clear now that he had not.

But what could she do?

...

The selection program "Dream Chasing Camp" wasn’t over yet.

Qiao Xi went to record two more episodes.

There was just one more week until the opening ceremony of the new drama.

Qiao Xi hadn’t joined the crew yet, but she heard shocking news first.

—Qiao Zhenbin was dead.

Qiao Xi thought there might have been a mistake in the message conveyed.

But the call came from an old servant of the Qiao Family.

Previously, Qiao Zhenbin had let Wang Wen dismiss quite a few servants from the house, and those who had remained were ones who had been with the Qiao Family for a longer time.

Qiao Xi, not believing it, asked again, "Repeat that."

The voice was ethereal, as if it could scatter with a gust of wind.

The persistent buzzing echoed in her ears, but from it, Qiao Xi clearly heard the servant’s words.

"Young Miss, the master has passed away, and his body is now in the morgue, would... would you like to come and see him?"

The servant asked tentatively.

The servant was unsure whether Qiao Xi would come since the relationship had been severed, but she was unable to contact Qiao Nan.

The Qiao Family had ended up like this, what on earth had led to such misfortune!

Qiao Xi emotionless, "Where’s Qiao Nan?"
